CLEVER ROGuERY.
A Case OF MalinEerlng Defeated by the Law,
of the Contrast Of CoIorn-

a Case OF ofMalingerlng Defeated by the Laws
of tho Contrast of ColorH.
"Malingering," or the imitation of
disease or disability for the purpose of
evading work or obtaining money, is a
not uncommon form of roguery. Some
times the deception is so clever rs TO
be very difficult of detection, but
usually, it may be hoped, the resources
Of modern science are sufficient TO baf-
1e the malngerer. At Metz n short
time ago there happened one Of those
accidents which are said to occur occa-
sionally even in the best regulated
workshops. A Zimmerman whilst
forging let tho tool slip from his grasp.
aud il struck his assistant near the left
eye. The injury was of course duly
attended to, and in few days the doc
tors declared the man TO be complete
ly cured. The man, however, would
not admit the correctness Of their
statement, but insisted that he had
lost the power 10 see with the injured
eye. Specialists examined him and
declared that the organ Of sight was
uninjured, but the man steadily main
tanned that they were wrong. Various
experiments were tried without de-
cisive results. Finally, one of the ex-
perts, basing himself upon NJ Chew
reul's investigations as to the laws of
the contrast Of colors, made a fresh
trial. After writing some words in
green ink upon black screen, no
placed on the nose of the malingerer a
pair Of spectacles having a red glass
for the right eye and white glass for
the left eye. "Now read what | have
written" said the doctor, and without
the least difficulty the man read the
words.
"Did you read that with your right
eyeP' was the next question. Scr
tainly, for can not see with the left
eye at all. "You are mistaken; you
have read this with the left eve. You
can not have read green characters
upon n black ground because Of the !
red glass, for red is Complementary
color Of green. aud the letters are lost |
and eflaccd in the black ground of the !
screen. II Is therefore with the left !
eye and through the white glass only |
that you have read what / have wrote"
When the case came before tho tribu- |
nal the reasoning Of the specialist was
approved, and the malingerer was de-
fcated In his endeavor 10 obtain com |
pensation for the imaginary loss Of
sight in an eye with which he could |
still read. -MaHchester Guardian

Tho Wonderful Garnet mug Up In the Ce
ter of New York CITY.

ter Of Now York CITY.
Every one knows the garnet, that
beautiful gem which some times equals
the ruby in color and purity, but few
know that this mineral. though not In
the gem form, is very abundant on
New York island In the rocks which in
the Upper part Of the city are being
blasted out in enormous quantities in
order TO provide room for cellars and
tho foundations of houses Indeed,
they are so numerous in some places,
dotting the rocks for miles, that II
seems rs II II must have rained gar
nets at some former period Of the
worlds history when the rocks wero
still soft.
Mr.. George L. Kunz, the noted min
eralogist and gem expert, who was
short time ago sent by the United States
Geological Survey to report upon the
supposed diamond deposits in Ken
lucky, is the owner of a most beautiful
specimen of this mineral, which has
history.
To reporter Mr. Kunz recently
gave the following facts about the
garnet;
"This garnet, which is probably the
finest single crystal of tho mineral ever
found in the United States, was dis
covered, strange to say. in the midst
Of the most solidly built portion
Of New York City. During the sum-
mcr of 1885 an excavation was made
by blasting for a sewer in West Thirty
ninth street, between Broadway and
Seventh avenue. Along with the other
rocks thus brought TO the surface was
this garnet. Its value not being recog-
nized by the laborers, it lay unnoticed
in the mud and dirt for over two
months. Finally its peculiar form at
tracted the attention of one Of the
workmen, who picked it up and called
tho attention of Mr.. j. J. King, of this
city, to It. Through him it passed into
my possession"
Mr. Kunz was the first person TO see
its rare character and value. It's now
in his private collection in Hoboken.
The crystal itself is remarkable for
regularity of form, size and weight.
1t is ball-like in appearance, with
twcnty-four sides or planes, all well
developed. Its greatest diameter is
about a half a foot and its weight is
nearly ten pounds. Tho color on the
surface is a reddish brown and the ma
terial within, which is very compact,
as is shown by fractures, is Of light
carbuncular tint Being Opaque, of
course it is worthless as material for
gems. In fact, as Mr.. Kunz said, "no
garnets have ever been found on New
York island worth cutting for j"welry."

1t Is not our intention in this article

for the readnr's reflection. The cause
has been attributed 10 filth. to exclu.
sive corn diet, worms and close in
breeding. IL has long been noticeable
that as the texture m fiber are refined
50 is susceptibility Ia disease aud par.
asites increased. This Is true in the
vegetable, rs in the animal kingdom.

that there Is by far too much exclu-

The filth theory has been exploded
frequently. Cases are on record where
swine have died that have had all the
care and attention that could be bcstow.
ed by careful feeder. and have had
clean quarters, luxuriant pastures aud
pure water while on the adjoining farm
the swine were confined TO close lot

We would not for moment advocate
